Fans were worried that a Red Dead Redemption 2 delay might be on the cards, having heard nothing from the development team since last year.

Now Rockstar have officially confirmed that the new Red Dead Redemption 2 release date will fall on Spring 2018 instead.

“Red Dead Redemption 2 is now set to launch Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” a new development team message explains.

“This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans.
